Mick was fortunate enough to hit up a nice looking backyard setup recently…
“The other day it was Canada day and I was lucky enough to get invited out to a BBQ Canada style at Ron Murcers house where he has an amazing skate park in his backyard called The Woodyard. The place is sooooo much fun and has lines for days. It was a really good turn out and the locals are amazing riders and even more amazing as people.
We had a dope sesh, super chill, lots of beers and lots of laughs were had. It was an amazing way to spend the day. Thanks so much to Ron for letting us hit up his backyard and all the locals for being super cool.”
Fat from Alli Sports hung out with us for a day whilst we were in California and this was the end result. A super fun day out in the sun.
A couple weeks ago Ryan headed to Pennsylvania for a Vans demo and it looks like all the riders and the crowd enjoyed the day.
Zac shot s through an update from Canberra…
Hey all. Not much has been happening of late. It’s been hard to get motivated to ride in Canberra because it’s been freezing. You go for a ride it’s atleast -5, it’s so shit if you fall off! I’ve be rocking trackies whenever I ride, it’s the best feelin riding in them.
In other news I’m heading up to Brissy next week to film some more of my up and coming edit, be good to see all the Brissy crew again! It’s Millar’s birthday so I’m sure I’ll have him do some dance moves by the end of the night. I’ll hit ya’s up again with an update next week when I’m in Brisbane, hopefully have some photos of Millar dancing. Anyways talk to you all then.
Peta Shepherd is over in Canada for a few months & she sent in a quick update. Read on below to see what she has been up too of late…
So far Canada has been awesome! I’ve just been riding heaps and sight seeing a little. Last week Kiera and Steven (Moxley) took me on a road trip up to Ottawa, it was a really fun time. Steven had a demo with Craz-E-Crew on Canada day, the 1st of July, and I was allowed to join in. They have a 9ft quarter and cool box jump. After dark we got to let off backyard fireworks, which I had never done before. These are just a couple of pics from the week – Peta.

We had a roll at the new Underwood park here in Brisbane yesterday which was good besides battling the crazy amount of scooter kids there. Chris is not far off finishing filming for his Colony edit, its going to be so good!
A few months back myself, Liam, Marnold and Brock headed over to Shanghai, China for the Asian X-Games. If you were following via the site you would know we had some crazy issues with missing bikes and Brock getting hurt but all in all it was a fun trip and this is the video we made from the days we spent riding after the comp was done. Thanks again to the locals for helping us out.
Make sure you grab the next 2020 mag that comes out very soon for a full article about the trip. Check the preview below.
Alex has been busy lately messing around with some editing & here is one of his recent results. Featuring Chris Courtenay, Chance Brejnakowski & Alex himself.

Bayzand sent through another update to keep us in the loop of his Canadian adventure!
“We had some nice weather the other day so I made the most of it and headed down to the plaza for a roll. This place is soooo dope, lots of stuff to grind and the mellow down rail is amazing. they have all so added a few new things since last time I was here which is pretty cool. Thanks to my girlfriend who snapped a few pics while I was riding.”
Simon is escaping the cold weather of Australia by venturing over to Japan. He has been studying hard of late so it was time for a break. Hitting it hard with some good sessions with the locals over there, Simon also has some demo’s lined up so we will keep you posted on them also.
Chris Courtenay gives you a quick run down on his signature CC Sprocket thanks to the guys at Ride BMX. Check it & then go buy a sprocket here or at any Colony dealer worldwide.

Brock recently went on a trip with his shop sponsor LUX. He shot through this update about the trip…
“I just got back from the LUX trip last Thursday and it was amazing, one of the funniest trips I’ve Ever been on.
We drove up to Gladstone and rode parks along the way and all the way back to Brissy. We’re gonna have the edit as a little premiere at the LUX 2nd birthday party in 2 weeks so should be a good night.”
T-Strett is on fire !! This one we filmed when in LA the other week & was a lot of fun. You gotta try this trick & if you are not laughing & smiling whilst doing it then something is wrong… it’s the funniest trick ever. Get to it !!
Thanks to the guys at Ride BMX & for the words below…
While kicking it with the Colony team a few weeks back, I overheard Peta Shepherd say to teammate Tom Stretton, “You should do a wheelbarrow on the banks,” while riding the famous White Banks in Los Angeles. I looked over, asked what a wheelbarrow was, and Tom immediately hopped on his bike, rode up to the banks, did some sort of running nosewheelie/whiplash on the banks and rode away. Soon after, we were all on our bikes trying to do it and simply put, having an absolute blast doing a simple and fun trick on flat ground and on the banks. After a bit of coercion, Tom was convinced to say a bit about the trick, and that leads to this week’s How To. Sure, this is a pretty easy trick to get done but as Tom proves, there’s plenty of ways to do it and I’m positive that someone will take this thing to a really creative and high level at some point. Until then, see Tom’s tips (in both normal English and the Aussie slang version) and get out and have some fun – Ride BMX.
Yo yo !!
Jack Birtles really did well with this edit of Tom. Such a good vibe throughout and it just makes you want to go ride your bike, enjoy!
Anton McGuirk has been riding heaps at Woodward East the last few weeks & will have a ten clips edit come out really soon. Watch this space…

Zac scored the advert in the UK version of new Albion magazine showing off his signature frame. Fast and hard gap to wall ride from our trip to Adelaide a little while back for the Colony X Vans shoe. If you watch the video below you will see the clip of this photo. If you are in Australia, Strictly BMX have copies of The Albion with the proceeds going to The Leukaemia Foundation which is pretty awesome.

Micky just sent through an update from OS…
“As most of you would know I am in Canada again for the summer. I nearly didn’t make it here as I had some passport issues, ticket issues and every other problem you can think of. But I am here now and it has been amazing so far. I have just spent the first week hanging out with my girl and catching up with all the homies over here. Such a good vibe and everyone’s so nice. The weathers just starting to get real good aswell, summer is definitely starting and I just put my bike together thanks to Ride On shop here in Canada, so expect a lot of riding photos and lots of crazy adventures. you no how I do. till then peace out and keep checking the site.”
The Shed Skatepark down in Cranbourne, Melbourne are having a series of comps leading up to a grand final in April next year with some great prizes up for grabs. More importantly though, good times on your bike to be had. I would expect that you will see our newest recruit, Dean Anderson there shredding. You may even be blessed with the Pete Radivo show. Pete rules. Check the flyer below for details.
